1953 Map of Tollesboro

About this map

Tollesboro sits at the center of this Kentucky landscape, where the ridge-and-hollow terrain of Lewis County meets the Licking River at the southern boundary. The 1950s geography is defined by a dense network of country churches and small rural schools, such as Pine Valley Ch, Canaan Sch, and Mt Tabor Ch, reflecting the dispersed settlement pattern of the era. The land is dominated by significant elevations like Eskalapia Mountain and Tanbark Hill, with numerous named hollows like Stouts Hollow and Happy Hollow carving through the plateau.
